* saner typechecking in generic unaligned.hAl Viro2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Verify that types would match for assignment (under sizeof, so we are safe from side effects or any code actually getting generated), then explicitly cast everywhere to the fixed-sized types. Kills a bunch of bogus warnings about constants being truncated (gcc, sparse), finds a pile of endianness problems hidden by old noise (sparse).

* Introduce O_CLOEXECUlrich Drepper2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is as follows: in multi-threaded code (or more correctly: all code using clone() with CLONE_FILES) we have a race when exec'ing. thread #1 thread #2 fd=open() fork + exec fcntl(fd,F_SETFD,FD_CLOEXEC) In some applications this can happen frequently. Take a web browser. One thread opens a file and another thread starts, say, an external PDF viewer. The result can even be a security issue if that open file descriptor refers to a sensitive file and the external program can somehow be tricked into using that descriptor. Just adding O_CLOEXEC support to open() doesn't solve the whole set of problems. There are other ways to create file descriptors (socket, epoll_create, Unix domain socket transfer, etc). These can and should be addressed separately though. open() is such an easy case that it makes not much sense putting the fix off. The test program: #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #ifndef O_CLOEXEC # define O_CLOEXEC 02000000 #endif int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; if (argc > 1) { fd = atol (argv[1]); printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd); if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF) { puts ("file descriptor valid in child"); return 1; } return 0; } fd = open ("/proc/self/exe", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC); printf ("in parent: new fd = %d\n", fd); char buf[20]; snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%d", fd); execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], buf, NULL); puts ("execl failed"); return 1; } [kyle@parisc-linux.org: parisc fix] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Acked-by: David S.

This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without requiring additional code factoring. It also prevents code that calls dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously the code would hit a BUG() at run time. Finally, it allows archs that set !HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

* Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4cBenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults. This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions, probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking. atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency. Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the rest of my atomic.h patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are needed in common code. They are: arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec. The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

* [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden2007-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix. This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed differently.

The commit was buggy in multiple ways: - the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with - it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd never see the bug except for constant arguments. - the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and didn't even parenthesize them properly - despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the generic page.h header file. All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to: better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

* [PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching modeZachary Amsden2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided. The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch multicall. To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time. Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated need for this extra complexity.

* Fix Maple PATA IRQ assignment.David Woodhouse2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the Maple board, the AMD8111 IDE is in legacy mode... except that it appears on IRQ 20 instead of IRQ 15. For drivers/ide this was handled by the architecture's "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function, but in libata we just hard-code the numbers 14 and 15. This patch provides asm-powerpc/libata-portmap.h which maps the IRQ as appropriate, having added a pci_dev argument to the ATA_{PRIM,SECOND}ARY_IRQ macros. There's probably a better way to do this -- especially if we observe that the _only_ case in which this seemingly-generic "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function returns anything other than 14 and 15 for primary and secondary respectively is the case of the AMD8111 on the Maple board -- couldn't we handle that with a special case in the pata_amd driver, or perhaps with a PCI quirk for Maple to switch it into native mode during early boot and assign resources properly?

( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON() signals a kernel bug. ) i and others objected to this change during lkml review: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2 still the change slipped upstream - grumble :) Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

* PCI: Fix multiple problems with VIA hardwareAlan Cox2006-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is designed to fix: - Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM - VIA IRQ handling - VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time. We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume. The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect (hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right devices only. From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Now that PCI quirks are replayed on software resume, we can safely re-enable the Asus SMBus unhiding quirk even when software suspend support is enabled.

* [PATCH] Generic BUG implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.

Section relative symbols symbols change value when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not. Currently in the linker script we have several labels marking the beginning and ending of sections that are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols. Having a mixture of absolute and section relative symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless but it is confusing. This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place symbols that appear in sections without data and instead ld makes those symbols global :( My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel. The safest and least intrusive technique is to generate relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load time. The only penalty would be an increase in the size of the kernel binary. The problem is that if absolute and relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which is fatal. The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code the physical memory location they will run at, especially for the distributions.
